Warking

In the spirit of never regretting missing a picture I dragged myself out on one of the hottest days of the year so far. I dodged ricks and trucks and massive potholes to snap a road sign that I loved. I've always regretted not causing a traffic jam in order to get a picture of one on a construction site on the outskirts of Jaipur which read "Better late than newer".

What really delighted me about this was that it wasn't a one off mistake. There was another identical one at the other end of the hole in the road.

What really amazes me is that large corporations--which ought to know better--have egregious errors. In the local Airtel office (and, presumably, in all of its offices) there is a wall poster. On it, there is a movie clapboard with the words "scence" (rather than "scene") and "derector" (rather than "director").

BenI'm a huge fan of TES, an occasional contributor to resources and forums and a happy downloader of others' resources. The Teaching Overseas forum has been invaluable to me when planning new moves internationally. I had a look at the India TES and it seems to have all the potential of the original. It's not for me so much because I don't teach to the Indian boards but I'd urge anyone doing so to pop in, have a look and get involved.Good luck with the new offspring.

I am glad you enjoy using TES and that you regularly contribute to the resources online! Thank you!

I am hoping to reach out to others such as yourself. As a prolific user of TES would you consider posting a link to our new offspring on your fabulous Blog? I believe many of your followers may find interest in TESindia as we hope to keep the online community growing.

Hi Ben, I got some feedback from Indian friends and they were very positive about the new Indian TES. I've created a post to spread the word and wish the tesIndia team every success in this new offshoot.
